Story
Enzo lives in a foster home in Lake Mills, Wisconsin. Enzo is a sweet, laid back little guy. He has done well with adults and kids. In his previous home, Enzo was around dogs, cats, chickens, and rabbits and did well with them all. He loves being outside and really enjoys going for walks. With that being said, he is also perfectly content to relax and take naps. Overall, he is very easygoing and just enjoys being around his people. He has had rhinoplasty to help with his breathing, but he does have sensitive skin and sensitive ears. His skin and ears will need a little extra attention and care, so Enzo is looking for an adopter who has a history of great vet care. He is a sweet, loveable dog and would love a forever home! Interested in adoption? The first step is an application at paddyspaws.blogspot.com. Please do not apply if pets in the home are not up to date per our website requirements or are not altered. Our rescue adopts to Wisconsin and Illinois. Our requirements for Illinois applications are: excellent vet history, no children under 7 in the home, and an owned home. Wisconsin does not have these requirements, though we will not consider applications where pets are missing core veterinary care. Our process includes an approved application, reference checks, a homevisit, and once approved a meet and greet with the dog. Adoption fee is $250.
